Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I came upon a child of God
He was walkin' along the road
And I asked him, "Where are you going?"
And this, he told me
"I'm goin' on down to Yasgur's Farm
I'm gonna join in a rock 'n' roll band
I'm gonna camp out on the land
I'm gonna try and get my soul free"
[Chorus]
We are stardust
We are golden
And we got to get ourselves
Back to the garden
[Verse 2]
Then can I walk beside you?
I have come here to lose the smog
And I feel to be a cog in somethin' turnin'
Well, maybe it is just the time of year
Or maybe it's the time of man
I don't know who I am
But you know life is for learnin'
[Chorus]
We are stardust
We are golden
And we got to get ourselves
Back to the garden
[Verse 3]
By the time we got to Woodstock
We were half a million strong
And everywhere, there was song and celebration
And I dreamed I saw the bombers
Ridin' shotgun in the sky
And they were turnin' into butterflies
Above our nation
[Chorus]
We are stardust
Billion year old carbon
We are golden
Caught in the devil's bargain
And we got to get ourselves back to the garden
